A Jane Doe claims she was retaliated against and wrongfully terminated as a contractor for Fox Corporation after she reported that her boss sexually assaulted her on multiple occasions, a stunning lawsuit claims. In the complaint, which was filed in Los Angeles County this week, the Jane Doe who is a black woman who identifies as a member of the LGBTQ community alleges she was subjected to gender and race discrimination, as well as harassment due to a hostile work environment.

'In his wrongful termination suit, Mercurio claims that SDAR's board confirmed after an investigation that he had not committed payroll fraud, self-dealing or intentionally falsified expense reports.'

Post-termination defamation claims tied to the same conduct as wrongful termination cannot lead to recovery if the employee does not demonstrate damages beyond losing their job.
